FOUNDING DIRECTOR, CENTER FOR CRIME, FORENSICS, AND SECURITY ANALYSIS

Founding Director, Center for Crime, Forensics, and Security Analysis

Purdue University Northwest (PNW) invites nominations and applications for an interdisciplinary leader to serve as the Founding Director of the Center for Crime, Forensics, and Security Analysis. The director will collaborate with colleagues across the university to establish a leading center that impacts student learning, community engagement, and research and scholarship.

With many activities related to criminology, forensics, and security analysis already taking place across the institution, PNW sees an excellent opportunity to bring together many of these isolated pieces and take a more interconnected approach that will enhance student learning opportunities and increase engagement in issues affecting the region. The director will work across the university to leverage existing assets in a more strategic, cross-disciplinary manner and creatively explore opportunities for new programs and partnerships. Given the vision for a truly interdisciplinary approach, this will be the first center housed at the university-level rather than the college-level.
